Predation and natural selection simulation

                 Independent variable: The type of beak.

                 Dependent variable: This is the units of food collected.

Method:

1. Set up any material needed.
2. Collect different types of food.
3. Spread the food on the floor.
4. Start to collect the food with the different beaks in a period of time of 20 seconds.
5. Count the food collected
6. Annotate the results on a table.
7. Repeat all this steps until all the different foods are tested.
8. Put all the results in a table.

Conclusión:

        We can see through our results that the better specie was tenderolicus tortilla, since this specie got the higher average in all 3 types of foods tested. It is really much better than the other, because all averages are much higher than the other two species. The test was realized in 20 seconds which I assume now after doing the experiment that was enough time to take accurate results.

        To conclude I think that the experiment was successful, since we could complete our experiment and achieve the aim to discover which specie was the best. Also we have done it in the time we though and the results were fairly accurate. By our results we can tell if the species could survive or not in this type of habitat.

        The experiment was done correctly and with care, but the weakness could be that we didn’t spread the food like we should so maybe the results aren’t as accurate as they could. As a future experiment we should change the floor for a real ground and have more time for each beak so maybe the experiment would be more accurate and the result weren’t to high like in some cases in this experiment.
